[quote=Anonymous]How about this: parents at the good schools can bring up having a few parents check/make referrals to DCPS or the PCSB or whatever in the PTA. If the PTA by consensus agrees with having a few parents check, do so. If you say it's on behalf of the PTA, it seems much more legit to me. Then you can follow up to see what happened, and get the deterrent out there that the PTA wants the school to be populated with DC kids, from all of DC, just not outside of DC. As someone looking forward to the lottery for a little kid, I would appreciate not competing with true out-of-District residents who want free day care near the office. Kid who has a parent, part-time-caregiver grandparent here - whatever, I'm ready to shed a tear for the extra problems/needs of a non-nuclear family. And schools that are underenrolled and just need bodies, I don't care much. The money's being spent, let it at least be spent on children until somebody has the guts to pull the plug on underenrolled schools. But the rest need to suck it up. Move into the District if you want to have your kid in one of the better schools.[/quote]
